NALA | Inside Liquidity's most complex deal yet

“Cross-border payment fintechs like NALA are notoriously complex to finance. Most lenders won’t touch them due to the numerous complexities involved. But we aren’t like most lenders,” says Olivier Artinyan, our Senior Associate, Credit Solutions.

Thanks to Olivier’s out-the-box thinking (and raw French flair), he and the credit team found creative solutions to structuring a bespoke deal that impressed NALA’s Founder and CEO Benjamin Fernandes so much he turned down offers from other financial giants.

This closing was a masterclass in teamwork. Justin cultivated deep trust with Benjamin, paving the way for Olivier’s creative deal structuring. Adi Orfali anchored the process with exceptional bottom-up due diligence while Olga masterfully navigated a maze of multi-national legal hurdles.

We interviewed Benjamin and our deal team to learn how they pulled off a deal so different to anything we’ve done before.
